LSU safety Dashawn Spears ruled out for rest of Ole Miss game
LSU football safety Dashawn Spears has been ruled out for rest of Ole Miss game.
BATON ROUGE – LSU junior safety Dashawn Spears will not play in the upcoming game against Ole Miss due to an injury that occurred during the first quarter of Saturday's match. Spears fell after an Ole Miss run play and remained on the ground. LSU medical staff assessed his left knee but found no immediate cause for concern. However, Spears was helped up, put little weight on his left leg, and was led off the field.
This marks Spears' first absence from the start of the season. As the starting star safety, Spears has contributed significantly, tallying seven tackles, including one for loss, as well as a pass breakup and a pass defense through the first two games. Ole Miss defender CJ Jimcoily is set to fill in at the star position for this game.
